~ “I hope we once again have reminded people that man is not free unless government is limited. There’s a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: as government expands, liberty contracts.” Ronald Reagan.

CNN actually published an op-ed that puts blame on THE ONE, Barack Obama. CNN contributor Scott Jennings pointed out that the Mueller report looks bad for Obama. It’s hard to believe but we heard the network is preparing a nice place in Elba for him.

All of the Russia interference did happen under Obama’s watch.

THE ARTICLE

The partisan warfare over the Mueller report will rage, but one thing cannot be denied: Former President Barack Obama looks just plain bad. On his watch, the Russians meddled in our democracy while his administration did nothing about it.

The Mueller report flatly states that Russia began interfering in American democracy in 2014. Over the next couple of years, the effort blossomed into a robust attempt to interfere in our 2016 presidential election. The Obama administration knew this was going on and yet did nothing. In 2016, Obama’s National Security Adviser Susan Rice told her staff to “stand down” and “knock it off” as they drew up plans to “strike back” against the Russians, according to an account from Michael Isikoff and David Corn in their book “Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump”.

Jennings asked THE question: Why did Obama go soft on Russia?

My opinion is that it was because he was singularly focused on the nuclear deal with Iran. Obama wanted Putin in the deal, and to stand up to him on election interference would have, in Obama’s estimation, upset that negotiation. This turned out to be a disastrous policy decision.

Obama’s supporters claim he did stand up to Russia by deploying sanctions after the election to punish them for their actions. But, Obama, according to the Washington Post, “approved a modest package… with economic sanctions so narrowly targeted that even those who helped design them describe their impact as largely symbolic.” In other words, a toothless response to a serious incursion[…]

Mueller’s Russia troll farm case just hit another snag. It seems the social media posts and data we were told influenced the 2016 election were and continue to be in Russian. At least that’s true of the reams of data given to one of the alleged troll companies Wednesday, if Politico’s reporting is accurate.

How was that supposed to influence a U.S. election? How did they even know if it did given it was never translated. You can’t make this stuff up.

The Russia troll farm case appears to have been, in some measure, a Mueller PR stunt, but we will see soon enough.

A defense lawyer for one of the companies charged in the Russia troll farm case battled with the special counsel’s lawyer during a brief hearing before Judge Dabney Friedrich, a Trump appointee, Politico reports.

The company is one of three companies and 13 individuals who were charged in the troll farm case. Robert Mueller and his team never expected any Russians or their lawyers to show up[…]

I meant the to post some of this content yesterday but Saturday got away from me as I was catching up on three days of CPAC 2018, footage of which I will begin posting tomorrow.

However, before getting to Grumpy Daily Headlines, I thought it worth sharing with you two videos. The first is a video of President Ronald Reagan’s February 11, 1988 CPAC Speech: ‘On The Frontier of Freedom’ which is immediately followed by President Donald J. Trump’s CPAC speech this past Friday (2/23/2018).

Every week, the WoW! community and our invited guests weigh in at the Watcher’s Forum, short takes on a major issue of the day, the culture, or daily living. This week’s question: <b>When Does The Mueller Investigation End? With What Result?</b>

<a href=”http://right-reason.com/”><b>Laura Rambeau Lee</b></a> : The Mueller investigation will go on through at least the 2018 elections if only to perpetuate the uncertainty of foreign governments interfering in our election process. In the end there will be no substantial indictments or convictions related to the investigation with which he was tasked.

<a href=”http://joshuapundit.blogspot.com/”><b>Rob Miller</b></a> : How long? A couple of possibilities. What Mueller is doing, with the help of the complicit media is indicting people on ‘process crimes.’ As we saw from the way Scooter Libby was railroaded, that can be as little as mistaking a date previously given during a prior interrogation by the&nbsp;<b>F</b>amous <b>B</b>ut <b>I</b>ncompetent. That’s not really enough to go anywhere with&nbsp; after millions of dollars and almost two years. Let’s also remember that Mueller is concentration on supposed Republican collusion with Russia and the Trump campaign rather than his original mandate to explore any Russian interference in our elections. If this swine was really doing that, Hillary, Loretta Lynch, James Comey and a number of others would be under indictment since it’s become all too obvious that thereal collusion with the Russians came from Hillary, the DNC and the Democrats.

But of course, that would be getting a little too close to home for Mr. Mueller,<i> nicht wahr</i>? I still wonder why a second special prosecutor isn’t investigating the Uranium One affair, which involved bribery and collusion at the highest levels of government, greatly involved national security…<b><u>and happened on Mueller’s watch while he was head of the FBI and went through without a single caution or objection from him.</u></b>

Much depends on how the midterms turn out. If the Dems make significant gains, the faux investigation/witch hunt will get some new oxygen, although no real results will occur, which is generally what happens when you deliberately look in the wrong places. If, as is more likely, the Dem’s gains are slight and both houses remain in Republican hands, Mueller’s ‘investigation will take a few heads for process crimes and nothing else. J. Edgar would weep to see what the once fine organization he built from the ground up has degenerated into.

News of the Day — Fri. Dec. 1st

Breaking today is the news about Michael Flynn pleading guilty this morning. Progressives are spinning this as the end for President Donald J. Trump but is it really?

And why is it that every time the news stream is full of sins committed by Progressives, so call breaking news from the Mueller camp? Suddenly, everyone is back on the fake Russian hoax again and no one is talking about Matt Lauer, Al Franken or John Conyers? Coincidence?

The primary agenda of the Communist media complex is to Spin! Spin! Spin!

If Republicans FINALLY push through the vote on tax reform this afternoon, how much press will it get? I suspect that the deep state has instructed its puppets to ignore any Trump successes and stick to Russia, Russia, Russia.

See Attorney General, Jeff Sessions testimony yesterday before the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary below.

Much of the hearing consisted of Progressives posturing and pushing false narratives obviously for the sake of upcoming elections, propaganda, commercials and email fundraising campaigns.

In spite of the antics and false allegations levied at Sessions and the President, AG Sessions would not be deterred and stood his ground, called out and set the record straight when attacked by Senators Al Franken*, Robert Leahy and their fellow Marxist jerk Richard Blumenthal.

In spite of a media blackout, the Uranium One deal pushed through under Barack Obama involving for Obama’s AG, Eric Holder and then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton which involves the sale of 20% of U.S. uranium and the funneling of hundreds of millions of dollars to the Clinton Foundation has been brought to the forefront.
